Self-improvement
By Larry Chadwick


Oh to comfort those around me,
When life has beat them down.
Just to offer some inspire,
To those I see around.

If only hope could be instilled,
To the ones who are depressed.
And brighten someone’s day,
Without any need to impress.

To love the less than lovely,
And instill the truth of love.
But then I’d have to be connected,
As all true love is from above.
October 14, 2002

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Well, I have a sneaking suspicion you just might be connected and just don't know it. For, how else could you write such a compassionate, loving poem.

I enjoyed it.

Warmly,
Pat

Hello Larry

So many words of wisdom here and I wish more people felt the same way for it's the simple things that mean the most.  I've always believed that and still do.

Take care......Sue

Larry, you are one of the true heaven-sent angels whose mission is to spread your caring and sharing, your wisdom and your love.

The difficult part about being an angel is that they are often put through hell so that they can have true compassion for others. This may be why you have had to endure so much.

luv ya muchly
